"Ah, hoo——"
A tiny piece of dust was moving up and down, as if it was alive.
But looking down, I saw Nini with her eyes wide open. She was puffing up her cheeks and blowing air hard on her. Her little breasts were opening and shrinking, and her tail was wagging.
Fang Yu was a little bored watching his 'little daughter' playing tricks here. In the huge captain's room, there were only small light balls flying around on the ceiling. Except for the sound of Nini breathing and breathing, it seemed a bit quiet. .
On one side is the door to the alchemist's workshop, which is open. There is a half-finished 'prototype' on the workbench. It is the Lancer and Silver Bee in a modified state. It has not been assembled yet and the parts are scattered everywhere.
The work of transforming the Lancers and Silver Bees was much more difficult than expected. The two types of structures were not as simple as combining them together. The newly added resonance crystal required additional counterweight and space, and the cooling system also had to be redesigned. .
He encountered a lot of trouble before and changed thirteen designs one after another. The fourteenth design was born five hours after the thirteenth design was shot, which is the current one.
However, the unsatisfactory work began to make Fang Yu feel a little uneasy, so he had to stop what he was doing and sit here quietly for a while so that he could find his 'inspiration'.
But in fact, he has had this lingering feeling ever since he left Traveler's Rest.
It’s not just Sayek. In fact, the Tatar Lizard and the Archbishop of Cloud Port have long predicted the changes in this world. The disaster star will come and the world will change——
But what does that really mean?
Will giants and dragons return?
Unfortunately, there is no evidence of what happened to the Sinsas Snakemen when they faced the first disaster. Murals from many ruins describe the Black Throne of Fire, and little is known about what happened at that time. .
He opened the community inadvertently, and suddenly a huge black title came into view. The fonts were so eye-catching like ancient typography: 'World event task line, disaster star is coming——'
He was slightly startled and clicked on the main post as if his hand was out of control. It turned out that the content inside said that someone had inadvertently triggered a series of quest lines. The content of the mission was roughly to deliver the goods to Crow Claw Town from Cold Water Port, but at the end of the mission, this big mission line was accidentally triggered.
The author was confused about this task, because after the task line changed, there was no prompt for the next step. It just seemed like useless information and always occupied his task information bar. He had to turn to others for help.
Fang Yu silently moved his hand downwards, and the reflection of the window suspended in front of him was reflected in the depths of his eyes. This person's situation was slightly different from his. He directly triggered the Dragon Witch's quest line, and then entered the third level. In the event line of Bane Star.
Looking down, some people have joined the discussion one after another. They stated in their replies that they had encountered the same thing. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Fang Yu discovered that most of the places where these people triggered the missions were in Talen, along the line between Hanshui Port and Lingfeng Glacier. The latter two places were both east of the Baozhang Coast.
There were also a few people who said they were in Istania and had been to Idos not long ago.
This information seemed to be connected by a thread, either he had been there, or he had heard about it not long ago, or he was going to a place.
The content of the next discussion changed. After people reached a consensus on the task itself, they no longer doubted the authenticity of the existence of this 'task line', and they turned to discussing the possibilities related to it.
As we all know, the system seems to have a mysterious foresight about the operation of the world. Since this task line exists, it means that it will definitely arrive at a certain time in the future.
It's just that people don't seem to realize how the 'Misfortune Star' can be related to them. They seem to be discussing the version change of a game with great interest. Fang Yu has experienced similar incidents in the past - among those who imitated Etali Asia’s virtual game.
However, the version in the game is often one stage behind the real Aitaria. The corresponding content will not be updated in the game until what exactly happens in the world after the star gate.
In fact, many electors also like to regard their experience in Aitalia as being in a virtual world - after all, there are inexplicable systems here, such as starlight and information technology, which are incredible. Something exists.
Not to mention the aborigines, humans have not understood the origin of the dragon knight system for half a century.
It behaves like a real world, but there are many things that cannot be explained by human common sense. But on the one hand, people in the two worlds can communicate with each other - not just the unilateral entry of humans, Su Changfeng This has long been confirmed with the military.
He once asked Miss Tata about this, and Miss Goblin thought for a moment and told him: "Information can be replaced."
"The material basis of the two worlds may not be the same."
"But information determines what form matter should take."
Fang Yu was confused after hearing this, and he still hasn't understood what this sentence means. He can only say that people in the two worlds have different perceptions of the world itself. Starlight, ether and elements, just like the basic structure of the microscopic world, are also deeply rooted in people's hearts here.
He watched the discussion for a while. The topics discussed were all things he already knew, and the clues he wanted were already obtained during their discussion, so there seemed to be no need to participate.
The discussion that followed was no longer nutritious. After closing the main post, Fang Yu took a look at the post's popularity. It rose rapidly. In a short time, it had surpassed the post he had posted.
White clouds were flying outside the porthole, the wind was blowing the sails, and the Seven Seas Traveler was sailing above the clouds.
Crossing Charter City is the closest route to Gullah. Few ships take this route, and it is even more dangerous now, so the Seven Seas Traveler has been flying high to prevent encountering the flying dragons entrenched in this area.
That uneasy feeling rose up in Fang Yu's heart again, prompting him to stand up from his seat. The commotion made Nini turn around, tilting her little head and looking at her 'Papa' strangely, her big eyes flashing.
The piece of dust fell leisurely and covered her face, causing her to sneeze lightly:
"Ah sneeze!"
Nini reached out and wiped her nose.
Fang Yu looked at his 'little daughter' and felt a lot more at ease. He stretched out his hand and put it on the desk, letting Nini climb up.
The little girl followed the 'path' she was most familiar with, and like a nimble little monkey, she climbed up on Fang Plover's shoulders with ease, and sat down cross-legged in the position that belonged to her.
Fang Plover walked out, and happened to see the Papalar man sneaking past on the deck like a thief. He was afraid of the solitary room where he had not spent enough time a few days ago, but Fang Plover actually had no intention of caring about this.
"Nothing happened recently?" He asked Alyssa who was paying attention to the barometer. This lady was doing something that made him feel a little dumbfounded - she was curling the ends of her hair in the heat pipe of the ship. on, perming it into curls while looking back at him.
"Dear Captain, are you asking about my new hairstyle, or something else?" Alyssa asked with a playful wink.
"I'm asking about Gula Port."
Gullah Port is located just on the other side of Traveller's Swamp, across from Charter City and Traveller's Rest. In fact, the land passage between the two needs to pass through Charter City.
There is the northern border of Kaolin and Ithulian. Crossing the Sea of Dust and sailing northward, you can reach Lotao.
It is still an area on the edge of the Rainbow Alliance's control, across the sea from the northern area of the Treasure Staff Coast controlled by the descendants of Flor. Several guilds under BBK, especially the Jefflite Red Team, are also quite influential in that area. Influence.
They were going to that place to meet Luo Yu's parents. Those two people should be regarded as seniors to them, but Fang Yu always felt a little inexplicably nervous since he found out about his parents.
The situation in the ancient pagoda has been very tense recently. Due to the invasion of dragon beasts, many cases of disappearances have occurred one after another. Travelers in the past are often attacked. There is even a legend that there is a creature lurking in the darkness that can erase the starlight of people. .
Fang Yu always felt that the source of his uneasiness came from this.
He regretted that he had arranged a meeting with Luo Yu's parents at such a place, but the disappearance happened after that, and it was difficult for him to change his mind with his elders.
There was also news from the military that there seemed to be some unusual movements in the fleet of Flor descendants anchored south of the Rainbow Sky Gorge. Although Fang Yu felt that the other party was not necessarily here for him, all the related information revealed an ominous meaning.
He had asked Alyssa to pay attention to the news about Gula Port before. There is a general community in the third division, and there are many local forums below, which gather hundreds of thousands of news. It is impossible for him and Miss Tata to tell them all. To pay attention, we have to mobilize everyone’s strength.
Alyssa fiddled with her curls, shook her hair, and answered lightly: "It's the same thing, a few more people disappeared, a few more attacks, the dragon beast invaded a certain town, and how many people were killed . But fortunately, there is another Aisha's temple nearby, so they didn't let them surround the temple and start massacring——"
"That doesn't sound good at all."
"What can be done about this? As Mr. Sayek said, those dragon beasts seemed to appear overnight. The northern territories, Rodel, Elpaxin and Fenris are all semi-autonomous, and their military strength is limited. It’s just too tight.”
She paused and said, "More importantly, the kingdom's armies are currently gathering on the northern front line of Dulon to guard against the rebellion in the south. If it hadn't been for the Phoenix Victory, the current situation would have been even worse. I heard that even Sir Roban was Back in the royal city, it looks like the situation is not optimistic."
"But at least there's good news."
Fang Yu was slightly startled: "What's the good news?"
Alyssa replied a little playfully: "That means that at least everything is safe in Istania. It seems that no one will bother the eldest princess and His Highness Aleph."
Fang Yu sighed: "Alyssa, now is not the time to joke."
"It's not all a joke," Alyssa replied: "Don't forget that it all depends on us, otherwise Istania might be the big problem now..."
Fang Yu couldn't help but think of the turmoil they experienced in Istania.
If the blind follower really succeeds, Miss Nightingale's words seem to be true. The current Istania is not peaceful, but a time bomb bigger than the southern border.
"As for Nognis," Alyssa added, "if the Heart of the Mountain is taken away, what will happen, Captain? Captain, have you noticed that Corin-Ithurion is really 'Wars are rising everywhere'."
Miss Nightingale looked at him deliberately as she spoke.
In the traditional sense, Kaulin-Ithurion is divided into seven regions and four kingdoms. The core kingdom is the Kingdom of Kaulin (region), which is the political hinterland of the kingdom and the center. It is with Elpaxin, Luo There are five major regions: Dell, South Cowling (Southern Territory, Long Lake area), Yis, Treasure Staff Coast and Nognis.
Finally, add the autonomous dominion of Fenris and the three joining kingdoms-Eldron, the country of the dwarves; Aquin, the court of elves; and Istania, the desert kingdom.
If you think about it carefully, among the eleven core areas of the kingdom, Nognis, Nankolin, Istania, Elpaxin and Fenris all seem to have had problems together. That's it for Nan Kaolin and Elpaxin. If Fenris and Istania weren't because of him, the entire Kaolin-Ithurion would really be a scene of "wars and smoke" right now.
think about it?
Fenris fell, and Elpahim once again occupied Nicol Bolas and the drakes.
Rebellions are rising in the south and threaten the Du Lun frontline at any time.
The capital of Istania has fallen, the Sand King, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the King's eldest son have all fallen into the hands of blind followers, while the Nognis Aether has been lost, and all things are gradually falling into withering.
By then, how much good will be left in the kingdom?
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he vaguely realized the source of his uneasiness. The dark believers seemed to have done a lot of big things in the past year. He has not been to Yis, Aquin and Eldron, and he only has the intention to go to the Treasure Staff Coast.
There are several heroes from the Battle of Byrne on Aquin's side, and Princess Brianne seems to be very shrewd. Her father must not be far behind, so there shouldn't be much of a problem with the elves. The same goes for dwarves.
He didn't have any big problems in his memory about Rodel, but the Treasure Stick Coast and Yis always made him feel a little bad.
"The scale of the Dark Believers' grand deeds has far exceeded the scale of the Dragon Witch incident back then. If they succeed in everything, the entire Caolin-Ithurian is in danger of being subverted." Alyssa replied. : "This is actually what the captain is worried about, right?"
Fang Plover nodded.
"Actually, I've been thinking about this question these days," Alyssa took off her hair curlers from the heat pipe and stood up straight, "What is the purpose of this 'grand banquet' of the dark believers. But since After listening to Mr. Sayek’s words, I understood immediately.”
After hearing these words, Fang Yu suddenly felt enlightened.
"Are they welcoming the arrival of a bad star?"
Alyssa nodded with rare seriousness.
Fang Yu remained silent, as if the thing that worried him the most was suddenly struck.
The evil star is coming and the demons are dancing wildly. The believers of darkness seem to have predicted this event from unknown channels and have prepared for it in advance.
But they didn't even know what the Star of Disaster was, and even Mazak's old butler couldn't tell them the answer. After all, just as it was described - the fate of the Oath Keepers family was ultimately only with the Dark Dragon. Just confrontation.
But now the story of the dark dragon and the dragon-slaying holy sword, the legend of the previous generation has long come to an end in this era, Nicol Bolas is just the last tragedy in this historical drastic change - it began in Garapea , and finally the Fairy Holy Sword.
And what comes after that, no one knows.
Is the history of Aitaria a cycle of reincarnations between disasters and governance? What is the meaning of all this?
These profound questions seemed to have nothing to do with their small adventure group. Because as Sayek said, the Dragon Witch's mission has come to an end with him. Neither Mazak nor Lucius told them where they were going.
It seemed like they should be able to let go of everything.
Treat everything that happened in the past year as just a task.
But among the Seven Seas Brigade, except for a heartless guy like Parker, no one seems to be able to regard all of this as just a 'mission'.
People in the community are discussing all this with great interest. A virtual world, a version change, what will follow will be more exciting adventures, a lot of opportunities, and many people may become rich overnight in this change.
Even, he became a hero.
but--
Is that really the case?
Perhaps yes, for most of the chosen ones, Aitaria is just one of their choices.
Even if they are in the most desperate situation, they can still retreat back to the earth.
So everyone can feel comfortable in the community.
"Wouldn't it be a bit silly for us to think about this, Captain?" Alyssa turned back and silently looked at the airflow and clouds passing through the side of the ship.
After a while, she suddenly asked such a question that surprised Fang Pliance.
"What if the evil star comes?"
"We are just the chosen ones. Only in troubled times do we have opportunities, and governing the world can only solidify the class. Look at what those big guilds do, don't you understand it completely?"
"Theoretically, we shouldn't oppose it, we should support it all. The captain should have seen it too. People in the community are discussing things enthusiastically. Guess who those people are? They are not current Those who have vested interests under the system, but people who are eager to seek change and have ambitions.”
"Of course, most of these people may end up being nothing more than flesh and blood under the knife of others. In a grand feast, those who can become the winners in the end are just those people."
"Alyssa?" Fang Piao didn't expect Miss Nightingale on his ship to say such words. This seemed to subvert his cognition, and he looked at Alyssa in front of him as if he didn't recognize her.
But the twin sister just smiled and turned around. "Are you a little scared, Captain? But these are actually not my real thoughts, just some complaints in my heart. However, they are the premise for me to ask this question - as the Chosen One, we really Do you need to worry about the coming of bad luck?"
Fang Plover couldn't help but feel a little silent.
Nini, who was on his shoulder, looked at her 'Papa' and then at 'Aunt Alisa'. Of course, her ignorant young mind could not understand this conversation at all, but she could vaguely see it. The tension between the two.
She backed away a little worriedly, curled up her tail, and bit the tip of her tail with her small, white teeth in fear.
"What will happen if Corin-Ithurion is destroyed?"
"Or to put it further, what will happen if Aitalia is destroyed?"
The two questions seemed a bit aggressive, but Fang Yu stood still and did not move. The turbulent fear in his heart seemed to be revealed at this moment.
What appeared in front of him were the faces of Sylvide, the big cat man, Miss Attila, and everyone he met on this journey. Some of them were friends, and some of them had studied with him. Throughout his life, some people gave him everything they had, and some people gave him a lot of help.
What will happen even if Aitalia is destroyed?
This world may seem a bit illusory to people on earth.
In the absence of the awareness of death, people always lack a heavy sense of the reality of the world.
But only, everything people experience, everyone they meet on the road of travel. What they heard, what they witnessed, and the feelings in their hearts will always be sincere.
The replacement of information seemed to have already happened the moment they came into contact with the world.
Fang Yu couldn't help but clenched his fist - Aitalia was more than just a big dream for them.
Alyssa looked at him and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the captain's answer is actually very simple, that is, we can't let go of the big cat man, Miss Attila and the others, and of course, your Miss Sylvide. "
Hearing the last name, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he knew in his heart that it was not just because of Sylvide.
After a moment of silence, he asked:
"Then can Miss Alyssa let go of Attila, Sylvide and the big cat people?"
After hearing this question, the girl rarely retorted. She only smiled softly, with a soft and gentle light shining in her eyes, "Of course I can't let it go."
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the other party in surprise.
Alyssa was a little funny: "Captain, why are you looking at me like that? This is normal. Sensibility and rationality are two sides of human nature, and I'm not a particularly weird person, so of course it's the same."
"Family, love and friendship are noble qualities praised by people in countless poems, and I also yearn for it, no different from other people. It's not just me, Tianlan, Parker and even Box, they are the same, people and The differences between people are actually not as big as people think.”
"Humans are animals with emotions, and the nostalgia for emotions is one of our most precious qualities, Captain."
She starts with Captain and ends with Captain.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Miss Nightingale with his mouth wide open.
He never dreamed that the twin sister would say such words that were almost preaching.
"So what should we do, Captain?" Alyssa looked at him, but said to herself: "I think as the captain of the Seven Seas Traveler, of course, we can't be entangled in these side issues like us unknown people. It’s in the last details, right?”
The touch of emotion that had just arisen in Fang Yu's heart disappeared involuntarily, and he looked at the other party with a wry smile: "Miss Alyssa, you are not a nobody."
He had finally discovered that, apart from him, the seemingly useless captain, there seemed to be no fuel-efficient lamp on this ship.
Alyssa covered her mouth and smiled, "I can accept this flattery, but you'd better not tell Miss Sylvide, otherwise she will definitely make trouble for me."
Fang Yu nodded, and the conversation with the twin sister finally cleared away the confusion in his heart.
Indeed, whether the arrival of the misfortune star is closely related to every chosen person, he has no control over such a broad matter. But along the way, they will always follow this path, because this world has long been inseparable from them.
What's more, he believed that he was not the only one who thought so. Perhaps one day, he will meet more like-minded people. Aitalia has experienced disaster twice, and this time it may not be a big deal.
After eliminating the barriers in his heart, he finally returned to his previous state. However, looking at Alyssa in front of him, he felt that Miss Nightingale seemed to have come to say these words to him intentionally.
But of course Alyssa would not admit it, and just changed the topic and said: "But Captain, before worrying about the matter in Gula Port, I actually suggest that it is best to focus on the current matter first."
"Um?"
"The barometer shows that a storm is approaching from the north. Of course, this is not the key. The key is that we have reached the airspace above Charter City. Not long ago, Jita told us that several wind element detection points were found nearby."
Fang Yu was shocked: "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
"The captain didn't ask before."
“…….”
Fang Yu slapped his forehead and hurried out speechlessly.
After just two steps out, he turned back, looked at Alyssa, and said, "By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you."
"Please speak, Captain." Miss Nightingale replied very politely.
"What you just said is not entirely correct."
"What part are you referring to, Captain?"
"Do you think that for the Chosen One, it's really okay to worry about the arrival of a misfortune?"
Alyssa curled her long hair and asked curiously: "Oh, what do you have to say, Captain?"
Fang Plover closed his mouth and his expression became slightly serious.
In fact, the thought that made him shudder had always been hidden in his heart. He always felt that the incident that Su Changfeng mentioned in his previous conversation seemed to be telling him a possibility.
Is the earth really safe?
He took a breath and then answered:
"They probably really can't hang around."
"Not just them, but our world may not be immune."
Alyssa froze on the spot in astonishment.
